Preschool
Preschool Director

Holly Oyler has been with the Archdiocese of Louisville for over 25 years. Holly studied at the University of Louisville and earned her Child Development Associate Degree. She also has her Commonwealth Child Care Credential from the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Holly creates a classroom atmosphere that is fun and adventurous. She is passionate about teaching the children to become individual learners.

"Each child learns differently, both physically and mentally, so I like to establish different learning techniques based on the children's needs."

Q & A with Mrs. Oyler

 

Highlight of the year:

“Thanksgiving Feast” when all the preschoolers come together to remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving.

Passion:

Incorporating fun in the classroom along with learning, so the children love to come to school.

Philosophy:

Each child learns differently, both physically and mentally, so I like to establish different learning techniques based on the children’s needs.

Favorite part of teaching:

Watching the children grow as individuals and to see them so proud of themselves.

Favorite teaching memory:

The Spring Fling and watching the children enjoy all the festivities around Derby.

Favorite thing about St. Martha:

St. Martha feels more like family; like you belong here. Administration, Staff, Families and Parish.

My hope for my students:

To love school as they grow.

Fun fact:

I love to be outdoors and enjoy nature. Spending time with my family and friends at the lake or just walking the Parklands.

Our Teachers Go Above and Beyond

"It is a wonderful feeling knowing that the faculty and staff of St. Martha want your child to succeed just as much as you do as their parent. If I ever have a concern, or for that matter my child has a concern about something they don’t understand, they are provided with extra support until they are able to master the skill being taught. Our teachers go above and beyond!"

The Drive…It’s Worth It!

"We drive over 30 minutes each way to get to St. Martha - and it's worth it! We grateful to have found a community of loving, courageous, helpful, kind, genuine people to help us raise our babies - and we're not going anywhere. After 3 years of preschool and with our oldest now in Kindergarten - we know we're where we belong.
A deciding factor and one of the greatest benefits to our family is that SMS offers after school care AND summer care - that are run by SMS staff. My kiddo is in the same place, with people she knows, all year and its priceless!"

No Worries At All!

"My daughter became a Shamrock in 7th grade, and my biggest worry as a parent was if she would feel like part of the school community. I shouldn’t have worried AT ALL. She has said multiple times that the students have been so wonderfully welcoming to her that she feels like she’s been at St. Martha since kindergarten. It’s been an amazing transition for her and we are so thankful for everyone who’s been part of her school experience at St. Martha - her new friends, teachers, school staff, and the St. Martha families. It’s never too late to find your perfect school!"

Neighborhood School

"Our family initially picked St Martha due to it being a private school in our neighborhood, we’re not Catholic. We didn’t know anyone but I had heard good things. As soon as the kids started there it felt like family. We quickly got engaged in clubs and sports and all of us have made great friends!! The staff is top notch and the boys can’t wait to go to school everyday!"
